We decided to introduce you to a man who has achieved a lot - for himself and for us. Yuri Andreevich Andreev is well known in our country and abroad solely due to his work, and not someone's "promotion".

We have been familiar with his creative aspirations for a long time. And here is what is remarkable: after all, his little note “Three Whales of Health”, published in the Neva magazine in 1988 and causing a great long-term effect in the reading world, was written by the Editor-in-Chief of the famous, all-Union revered Big and Small series of the Poet’s Library, doctor of philological sciences (it is significant that in China at about the same time a dissertation was defended on his views as a literary theorist). This note about the principles of a healthy lifestyle belonged to the author of the story translated into many languages ​​"The barmaid from the disco", according to which G. Tovstonogov staged a play at the Bolshoi Theater with the brilliant A. Freindlich in the title role (the same story was staged in Los Angeles, Varna, Voronezh).

This note, still remembered by many, belonged to a man who in September 1986 was elected Chairman of the All-Union Council of Author's Song Clubs at the first legal congress in Saratov by representatives of 140 cities from all the republics of the Soviet Union.

In those same years, the guardianship work entrusted to him by the secretariat of the Leningrad Writers' Organization to lead the "Club-81" - unrecognized geniuses - was in full swing. The collection of works by the members of this club "Krug", which saw the light under his editorship, gave rise to a literally stellar rain of reviews - at least 35 in different countries. And in each of them it was noted that his release was both an unprecedented phenomenon and a landmark for understanding the literary situation in our state.

In the same years, in his translation from Ukrainian, the soul-searing documentary story by V. Boyko "And if there is hell on Earth ..." was published. In order to authentically recreate the atmosphere of that book, Y. Andreev went to Auschwitz, where the Poles kept the death camp. In those same years, he carried out instructions from the secretariat of the Union of Writers of the USSR in Korea, in Cuba, worked in Siberia, became a laureate of the Literaturnaya Gazeta as a constant "ringleader" of heated discussions. In the same years, almost in all republics, his publicistic book “Frank Conversation, or Conversations with a high school student at the limit and even beyond the limits of possible frankness” was translated. Isn't it true that his positive actions in a short period of time would have been enough for some others for several biographies?

But after all, such a lifestyle was inherent in him from a young age: while studying at the Faculty of Philology of Leningrad State University, this round five student simultaneously worked as a sambo wrestling coach at the department of physical education of his own university (and even as a senior coach - already a graduate student of the Pushkin House of the USSR Academy of Sciences), graduated from a coaching school at the Institute. Lesgaft and was an active fighter.

His romantic novel "Republic of Sambo" and academic research on the Russian Soviet historical novel were published almost simultaneously.

His doctoral thesis "Revolution and Literature" is about the coverage of the grandiose events of 1917-1921. writers standing on opposite sides of the political barricades, required twelve years of preliminary, intense, almost hard labor to determine, first of all, the bibliographic composition of the works to be studied. The collections of the largest domestic libraries, as well as the repositories of Yugoslavia, Finland, Germany and Czechoslovakia, were examined, because there, on the outskirts of Russia, literature created by émigré writers settled. The list consisted of more than 2500 authors, books of about 500 people were selected according to their artistic merit. Let's agree that this is somewhat more than 5-10 figures that constantly flashed in various textbooks, and the picture of literary life turned out to be much more vivid and dramatic than it was commonly believed. What is important to note: the monograph "Revolution and Literature" was published almost two decades before perestroika began with its freedom of information. And what else is important to emphasize: at the same time, intense work was underway on the historical-revolutionary novel The Crimson Chronicle (in collaboration with G. Voronov). Both of these books have been reprinted several times.

Whatever period of Yuri Andreev's life is touched upon, even the very last one, the situation is still the same. So, for example, the American naturopathic doctor Emilia Wilensky in 1998, based on an analysis of his works, called him “Russia’s number one healer”, and the phenomenal Novosibirsk healer Irina Vasilyeva, visiting the miraculous building he was building in Repin, spoke aphoristically: “Everything they are building concepts, and Yuri Andreev is building the Temple of Health.” And in the same years, books were created: the two-volume "Practical Medical Book", "Resonance of the Earth and Sky. Theory and Practice of Meditation”, “Health Diary for the 21st Century”, the current “What does a person need?”. In the same years, coursework was actively conducted in St. Petersburg, in various cities of Russia and in Stockholm, and important foreign trips were made.
This tense and productive rhythm of Yu. Andreev's universal performance is impressive. The list of his published works includes more than 500 titles, including more than 30 books. But no less impressive is the inseparable connection between theory and practice in his life. So, for example, the result of his expedition to the cities and towns, forests and rivers of the Vologda region on the topic “What do they read?” in the 70s, a memorandum appeared to the Committee on Press Affairs under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and with it his four-hour report to the board, correcting the partly snobbish position of the leadership (in particular, the green light was given to the publication of novels by A. Dumas).

The practical result of his doctoral dissertation was also a detailed memorandum, this time to the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU with a motivated explanation why the works of 34 Russian émigré writers and those who were repressed should definitely be published. Soon a closed decision appeared on the release of books of 33 of them, and in various publishing houses all of them were soon printed. (By the way, Yuri Andreevich himself received a proposal from the Khudozhestvennaya Literatura publishing house to prepare a selection of A. Remizov, the magician of the Russian word, who had not been published with us since 1920. He agreed to this proposal, the implementation of which took a year of hard work, since the only place in Russia, where almost all 90 books of A. Remizov were collected, was the manuscript department of the Pushkin House, in the sector of theoretical research of which he worked at that time.Academician D. S. Likhachev, in his speech at the VIII Congress of the Union of Writers of the USSR, especially noted the publication of this work .)

And the 34th author, Nikolai Gumilyov, before whom the permissive light of a political semaphore was not lit at that time, was published by Yu. Andreev without permission from above, being already the Chief Editor of the Poet's Library and having received support for this impudent action from the Board of the Union of Writers of the USSR, a member of which was.

Yes, the connection between theory and practice in his life is a constant value. In January 1965, the first in the history of the author's amateur song, his long article "What are they singing?" was published; in the autumn of the same year, subscription concerts of bards began in the large hall of the DC of food industry workers, in the youth club "Vostok", the chairman of the artistic council and the host of whose concerts he was for many years; further - seminars in the Borzovka tent camp on the shores of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov, development of a platform, training of personnel, organizational work together with an ever-increasing circle of associates - and now the grandiose, already officially recognized I congress of amateur song clubs in 1986. In total, almost a quarter of a century of work, where it is impossible to separate theory from practice ...

No, his life was not a parade march to the solemn fanfare: yes, the collection "Circle" saw the light, despite the fierce resistance of the Leningrad authorities, but in retaliation, Yu. Andreev was just as furiously deleted by them from the presentation for the title "Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR" .

Yes, he published a lot, but 12 of his major works were banned before publication, the monograph "Revolution and Literature" made its way to readers with incredible difficulty, and a doctoral dissertation based on it was shamefully overwhelmed in Leningrad (but triumphantly defended in Moscow).

His large book, Our Life, Our Literature, was confiscated and destroyed after publication. The director of the Pushkin House, V. G. Bazanov, somewhat dumbfounded, commented on this situation (Yu. Andreev then worked as deputy director for science, that is, he was his right hand): “That's how good they began to live! Previously, they would have written “Destroy the author, funeral at the expense of relatives”, but now “Destroy the book, losses at the expense of the publishing house”. Progress!..” This mournful story, alas, can go on and on (what is worth even a masterfully constructed attempt to expel him from the party by all-powerful haters, impotent from science! People of the older generation can appreciate this “plot” at its true worth!), but gets up the question is, what allowed and allows Yu. Andreev not to lose his fortitude, but, on the contrary, to constantly increase his efforts? Perhaps what helps him to remain a worker is that he also constantly deals with his health in the harmony of theory and practice.

Blinded from starvation during the war years, a 12-year-old boy, nevertheless, at the age of 15, he already participated in the match of hero cities in shooting from the Leningrad team, and there were, perhaps, no such sports in which he would then not take high places and would not receive champion titles: artistic gymnastics, skiing, sambo, cycling, slalom kayaking (descent from waterfalls), long jump, shot put, middle and long distance running. In his mature years, he started the custom of running as many kilometers on his birthday as he was years old.

But, perhaps, even that made it possible to stay afloat and not go down like a stone when meeting obstacles, that the energy initially put into it required more and more new applications?

Unfortunately, we cannot acquaint readers with his inventions: with the amazing Temple of Health, built according to his project; with previously unprecedented devices called “turtle”, which give the healed person inner heroic strength; with his "amulets", which - according to the conclusion of the medical commission - increase the protective functions of the blood, etc., etc., but we want to give you at least a glimpse of what a Russian person can and should be in his aspiration to the disclosure of their inner potential - for the benefit of themselves, their neighbors, their country, humanity.
